Rules of Exponents Multiplying and Powers

Anything raised to a power of zero is always: 

• 0

• 1

• itself

• negative

According to exponent rules, when we multiply two power with the same base we _______ the exponents.
Example: c⁶ ⋅ c⁴

• add

• subtract

• multiply

• divide

Simplify
m⁵⋅m²

• m⁷

• m³

• m¹⁰

• m²

Simplify
x⁰

• x

• ⁰

• 1

• Undefined

What is the base in 2⁸ ?

• 8

• 2

x⁴ (x¹²)

• x³

• x⁴⁸

• x¹⁶

• x⁸

Simplify 2m⁴ • 5m²

• 10m⁶

• 10m⁸

• 7m⁶

• 7m⁸

Simplify the expression: r⁶⋅r²⋅r³=

• r⁶⁺²⁺³

• r¹¹

• 11r

Simplify: (2x³y⁵)³

• 8x⁹y¹⁵

• 6x⁹y¹⁵

• 2x⁹y¹⁵

• 8x⁶y⁸

How would you simply (2x⁵)(6x⁴) ?

• MULTIPLY both the coefficients and MULTIPLY the exponents

• DIVIDE the coefficients then SUBTRACT the exponents

• Combine like terms

• MULTIPLY the coefficients then ADD exponents
